WHY DUMP THE PUMP?Thursday, June 20th is national Dump The Pump Day, a day that encourages people to save money by riding public transportation instead of driving a car.

Riding public transit is an economical way to save money, particularly when gas prices are high. The latest APTA Transit Savings Report shows that a two person household that downsizes to one car can save – on the average – more than $9,700 a year.

One person with a 20-mile round trip commute who switches from driving to public transit can reduce his or her daily carbon emissions by 20 pounds, or more than 4,800 pounds in a year.
